ACTIONS: What activities have been undertaken by your organization to promote a culture of peace and nonviolence during the ten years of the Decade? If you already made a report in 2005, your information from 2005 will be included in the 2010 report.

PROGRESS: Has your organization seen progress toward a culture of peace and nonviolence in your domain of action and in your constituency during the second half of the Decade?

It is hard to measure, but certainly I am seeing young people increasingly finding Pax Educare for mentoring, ideas on careers, interest in nonviolence and ways to make a difference.

OBSTACLES: Has your organization faced any obstacles to implementing the culture of peace and nonviolence? If so, what were they?

I have not found many. We continue to field interest and energy toward peace education. More and more people are realizing that we need a sea-change in our values, that war culture is supported by our alienation from one another and our pursuit of profit at the expense of people. People are hungry for community.

PLANS: What new engagements are planned by your organization in the short, medium and long term to promote a culture of peace and nonviolence?

short-term-May Community Institutes on Peace Education; wiring/publishing journal articles and chapters on peace education.

Long-term-continue publishing newsletter, work with youth in teaching nonviolence, in partnership with other organizations. Teach a course in educational sustainability for teacher education students.

GLOBAL MOVEMENT: How do you think the culture of peace and nonviolence could be strengthened and supported at the world level??

Support  continued networking so that peacebuilders can learn from one another
